Safety & ADAS – A First for Maruti Suzuki
Safety has been given utmost importance in the Victoris. It has proudly scored a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, making it one of the safest SUVs in its class.
Standard Safety Features:
- Six airbags
- 360-degree camera
- TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
- Hill Hold Control (HHC)

- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Hold
ADAS (Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance System):

This makes the Maruti Suzuki Victoris the first-ever Maruti car to feature Level-2 ADAS.
Powertrain Options
The Victoris carries forward the proven engine options from the Grand Vitara, offering flexibility to customers:
| Engine Type | Power | Torque | Transmission Options | Special Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
